Letter from a Far Country by Gillian Clarke

Letter from a Far Country by Gillian Clarke

This newly corrected reissue makes Gillian Clarke's classic 1982 collection available again for the first time since 1993. "Letter from a Far Country" is on the Edexcel examination syllabus for A Level English Literature, and Gillian's work is studied by A Level and GCSE students throughout the country. One of the most popular and widely read contemporary Welsh poets, Gillian Clarke is currently Capital Poet for Cardiff and gives regular readings, radio interviews and school workshops.

'Clarke's poetry..gives voice to the unexpressed emotions and experiences of women over the centuries...this, together with the way in which her Welshness is such an integral part of her sensibility and her poetry helps to make Gillian Clarke one of our most important contemporary writers' - New Welsh Review 'Clarke's work is both personal and archetypal, built out of language as concrete as it is musical.' - Anne Stevenson, Times Literary Supplement 'Clarke...reminds us that simply expressed facts can sometimes shine more memorably than fireworks.' - Carol Rumens, The Independent
